Infor VISUAL ERP allows manufacturers to increase production throughput, margins, and customer satisfaction with cost performance tools and Infor’s patented scheduler. Companies can determine delivery dates and secure shop floor capacities to improve on-time delivery, reduce leadtimes, and increase customer satisfaction.
Predict Capacity Issues
Infor VISUAL offers an entirely different approach to shop-floor scheduling — it tells you the capacity, material, and other issues that are going to cause the order to be late. This enables you to adjust to deliver the order on time.
Powerful "What-If" Schedules
By comparing “what-if” scheduling simulations, you can determine which simulation will yield the best results.
Schedule quotes and planned orders.
Infor VISUAL ERP has the only built-in scheduling tool that will allow you to schedule not only your released production orders, but also planned orders and quotes.
Increase Delivery Performance
Gain visibility into both material and capacity issues that may occur while incorporating Lean and TOC principals.
Drag & Drop Operations
Drag and drop functionality allows you to shuffle work order operations seamlessly and efficiently.
Accurately Forecast Pricing & Delivery Dates
See the impact of every order, constraint, and bottleneck within your organization. This enables you to deliver profitable results on time and increase throughput.
Real-Time Mobile Dispatch Lists
Infor VISUAL ShopFloor Mobile provides real-time visibility into your schedule at each and every work center on the shop floor.
Keep Supply & Demand in Sync
Infor VISUAL ERP syncs all levels and readjusts if there are material or capacity issues at any level.
Consider Concurrent Resources
Concurrent Scheduling takes machines, people, tools, materials, and other resources into consideration to ensure that you can actually start an operation with your available resources.
Before, the shop foreman would have multiple meetings per day with the person who ran the schedule to determine what’s next on that machine. Now it’s self-serve. From the shop foreman to the quality department, everybody has their own personalized display that’s tied to their schedule. It’s almost like a Taco Bell board. The job at the top is the first job to be worked on and that’s for each resource whether it’s quality control or one of the CNC machines. It’s a huge time saver!
We’ve gained more business from existing customers because we’re doing much quicker and better. We’re able to pull in customer requirements when they need something, which we couldn’t before. It’s tremendous!
Infor ERP may be the only scheduling system that actually works. It makes our business profitable and prosperous. Infor ERP scheduling helped us move from a $17 Million company in 2000 to a $100 Million company in 2011. We definitely could not have done it without Infor ERP's scheduling. It has been a big part of our growth.
Varied Scheduling Methods
Infor VISUAL Scheduling provides infinite, finite, backward, forward, EasyLEAN, and other scheduling methods. Our consultants provide best practices based on your manufacturing process and needs.
Critical Path & Determinant Path
Infor VISUAL calculates and displays critical path and determinant path time lines, so you can pinpoint the routing steps that are causing an issue. Sometimes the issue isn’t where you think it is. Infor VISUAL’s capabilities ensure you are focusing on what really matters.
Throughput Analysis
Throughput is a measure of productivity that considers the contribution of a job or product toward company profit. Infor VISUAL Common Sense Throughput is a strategy for using this information to aggressively increase your profit by enabling you to work a schedule that will increase throughput.
